Its title, "The Best in the Market," makes the pitch plainly, and the print backs it up with a colorful display of meat cuts. Chromolithographs like this one were produced in large numbers in the late 1800s, when multicolor printing became cheap enough for calendars, trade cards and store advertising. Butchers and meat dealers used such images to show customers the range of cuts they could buy and to stand out in a crowded retail trade. The careful arrangement of the cuts reflects how advertisers of the period wanted shoppers to see meat as a choice of quality.
